I received an email from Tony Pfannestiel, editor of Fault Lines. The book is in press. After corrections, the final run, comes the launch and the readings. My poem, "Another Santa Ana," is included along with the work of sixty other West Coast poets. I always joke that I'm bi-coastal (that is if you consider lake Michigan's coast a "coast") and given the amount of time I spend in California each year I think that qualifies me as a part-time Californian. I sent my poem off to Fault Lines before I moved to Chicago and was surprised Tony still wanted to publish it. The poem will also be included in a list of poems for download available for Portland's poetry box project.
